      In this paper, the first and second variational formulas for the volume function over the space of all equiaffine immersions are given. Then, using the first variational formula, some kinds of volume functions over the space of all non degenerate immersions are defined and the Euler-Lagrange equations for those volume functions are obtained. Also some special cases, for example, flat ambient space, c-Blaschke immersion, are considered.
